the things that make us happy make us wise

Googomi

One of the great things about Google App Engine is, if you stay inside the box, so to speak, many things are a doddle. So much so that I was able to create this new app, Googomi, in a day or two, most of which involved fiddling with and learning about the Google+ API.

The Googomi app is a very simple beast with only one purpose: it will take your public Google+ stream and turn it into an RSS feed.

I've put a modicum of processing into it, so that it should correctly guess the most appropriate title for each RSS item, eg choosing the annotation, or the remote URL's title, where appropriate.

I personally had a use case for this (apart from learning about various Google APIs) whereby I wanted to export Google+ posts to other services automatically. For example, with this I can post from Google+ to Buffer and then beyond automatically.
